I particularly enjoyed Elena , Craig and Tekin ’s talks. But the whole programme was great and I had to chance to catch up with old friends too. I even managed to get there and back more-or-less on time despite the heat. My air-conditioned room at Drakes Hotel was very welcome. I got up early on the morning of the conference for a swim at Sea Lanes . A slow and… ## [2026-25](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/06/22/weeknotes.html) _2026-06-22 · Chris Lowis_ I enjoyed a day out in Cambridge with my Go Free Range colleagues on Wednesday. We had a coffee at Bould Brothers , a ploughmans at The Free Press and then a walk along the river to The Plough where we watched some of the May Bumps . I was struck by Orchard Street as we walked past and took a quick photo. I made a sketch from the photo the next day. I’ve been following the drawabox drawing lessons… ## [2026-24](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/06/15/weeknotes.html) _2026-06-15 · Chris Lowis_ I went to Piehouse in Deptford on Thursday for an event about music co-operatives organised by academics from Goldsmith, Leeds and Huddersfield Universities.

The grandparents looked after the boys while A- and I had a short break at Nirvana Spa . It’s the best spa I’ve been to - lots of hot water, strong jets and a good sauna. We then travelled to the Welsh border to meet friends for a few nights. We stayed in the same place we did last year - it has plenty of space for the kids to play… ## [2026-17](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/04/30/weeknotes.html) _2026-04-30 · Chris Lowis_ On Saturday at the last minute I decided to go to The Sheephaven Bay in Camden to watch the Rochdale vs York title decider. I remembered that York City South meet there for televised games and was amazed to see around 200-300 York fans packed in for the game.

The Battle of Hastings English Heritage site was a lot of fun and captivated the kids’ imaginations. They particularly enjoyed the kid-friendly audio guide, picking up armour and weapons in the visitor centre and charging up the hill of the battlefield wielding wooden swords. We also visited St Leonards-on-Sea and ate excellent bagels at Sleeper… ## [2026-13](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/03/31/weeknotes.html) _2026-03-31 · Chris Lowis_ I missed a couple of these so here’s some edited (by my poor memory) highlights of the last few weeks. I had a great trip up to York for the weekend. My brother and a group of friends have turned it into an annual ritual now - the focus being a York City home game. This year we saw City beat Brackley Town 4-0 in what is turning out to be a real battle for automatic promotion . While in York I… ## [2026-10](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/03/08/weeknotes.html) _2026-03-08 · Chris Lowis_ I’ve been waiting for the plum tree in our garden to bloom since we moved in last year. This week it did. I went to see York City play away at Boreham Wood on Tuesday evening. As is customary when I attend a game, we lost. In this case also ending a 24-game unbeaten streak. On the plus side I got to spend some quality time with my oldest friend. I spent most of the day at Royal Brompton on… ## [2026-09](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/03/03/weeknotes.html) _2026-03-03 · Chris Lowis_ I spent Thursday lunchtime doing some phone banking to help get the (Green) vote out in the Gorton and Denton by-election .

I went to my first Green Party meeting on Wednesday night after joing up last year. It was a more serious debate than I’d expected (and apparently this is somewhat unusual) but the high spirits and diversity of… ## [2026-06](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/02/08/weeknotes.html) _2026-02-08 · Chris Lowis_ For the first time in ages I went for lunch and came out feeling well-fed and not ripped off. So many places seem to be cutting quality and putting prices up. Kami in Kentish Town served up a big bowl of rice, lots of crispy tempura, a tasty sesame salad and miso soup for an entirely-reasonable-for-2026 £15. We then took the kids to the Tate Modern and spent a good couple of hours in the Uniqlo… ## [2026-05](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/02/04/weeknotes.html) _2026-02-04 · Chris Lowis_ I was completely wiped out on Tuesday and Wednesday, having contracted whatever lurgy F- had had the previous Friday. Oddly, on Thursday I felt better than I have for a long time, leaping out of bed full of energy. I spent some time at the weekend making an Old West-style building out of bits of cardboard. I’m not really sure why, but I found it very relaxing and it took me to a similar place as… ## [2026-04](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/01/29/weeknotes.html) _2026-01-29 · Chris Lowis_ A- arrived home safely. We were all very happy to see her and decided to travel to Heathrow to meet her in arrivals. Although the giant orange nonce’s attentions seem to have drifted from South America for a little while, having her home and safe reduced my 😬 a fair amount. Harry Hill’s new /podscarf/ with Stewart Lee was an unexpected joy. I particularly appreciated the 15 minute serious… ## [2026-03](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/01/19/weeknotes.html) _2026-01-19 · Chris Lowis_ A- was away all week, so there’s been even more routine (getting kids to school, home, doing chores) than usual. We’ve got a leaky gutter that’s causing water to seep through the brickwork. As we live in a fairly high building we first need scaffolders to construct safe platforms for the roofers to do their work. I spent a couple of days letting them in and out and upping my swearing game to fit… ## [2026-02](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/01/12/weeknotes.html) _2026-01-12 · Chris Lowis_ A- left for Colombia on Wednesday evening. I’m gritting my teeth because of that-part-of-the-world events but I’m really happy she’ll be able to spend time with her parents for their golden wedding anniversary. Not unrelated to this change in routine, I managed to lock myself out. Fortunately our kind downstairs neighbours kept the kids warm and entertained while 1st Metro Locksmiths performed… ## [Yearnotes 2025](https://chrislowis.co.uk/weeknotes/2026/01/04/yearnotes.html) _2026-01-04 · Chris Lowis_ Moving Moving house took up a good chunk of the first half of 2025. We’d decided to keep our kids at the same primary school - they’re happy there, it’s great - and look for a new place within a sensible journey. We found a larger, older place in Archway. It’s a short overground train ride away from the school. We completed at the end of March. We came to a great arrangement with the person who… ## [Dear David](https://chrislowis.co.uk/2025/09/17/dear-david.html) _2025-09-17 · Chris Lowis_ Dear David, Ruby has brought me immense joy during my life and I’ve made many close friends thanks to a shared love of the language. Rails, thanks to the contributions of you and hundreds of others, has allowed me to experience that joy at work too. However, I can’t describe how disappointed I was to read your recent blog post “ As I remember London ”. I remember when you visited the London Ruby… ## [A bunch of single-page Web Audio examples](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/09/03/single-page-web-audio-examples.html) _2025-09-03 · Chris Lowis_ A bunch of single-page Web Audio examples A collection of single-page web audio examples of drum synthesis, sampling, buffer manipulation, envelopes, audio worklets and more.

Your error monitoring system should hit Inbox Zero every day. No exceptions. Like flossing my teeth, it’s advice that I know is right but find it really hard to do every day. There’s the exceptions raised by code I’ve written for a client, the exceptions raised by… ## [Quoting Jason Gorman](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/04/28/quoting-jason-gorman.html) _2025-04-28 · Chris Lowis_ Quoting Jason Gorman Most managers see teams as vehicles for delivering software. This misses the bigger picture. The value of any iteration of the software is ephemeral, and the code itself is a liability: it has negative value. What has far more value over the lifetime of a software product or system is the capability of the dev team to keep hitting a moving target - to rapidly, reliably and… ## [The composer still making music four years after his death](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/04/18/the-composer-still-making-music-four-years-after-his-death.html) _2025-04-18 · Chris Lowis_ The composer still making music four years after his death Under a magnifying lens sit two white blobs, like a tiny pair of jellyfish. Together, they form the lab-grown “mini-brain” of the late US musician Alvin Lucier – composing a posthumous score in real time. Artists grow stem cells taken from Alvin Lucier and incorporate it into an artwork. There’s always a lot of “AI will destroy us all”… ## [Photographs of Old Japan](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/04/18/photographs-of-old-japan.html) _2025-04-18 · Chris Lowis_ Photographs of Old Japan These pictures, the work of several different photographers,1 were assembled by a pair of collectors named Henry and Nancy Rosin. They were originally shot in black and white, then hand-coloured by artists — a technique common at the time. All were taken between the years 1860-1900, meaning the earliest of them just predates the Meiji Restoration, when the last shōgun… ## [Emacs Lisp Elements](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/04/18/emacs-lisp-elements.html) _2025-04-18 · Chris Lowis_ Emacs Lisp Elements The fun part is how you go about writing the code. There are no duties you have to conform with. None! You program for the sake of programming. It is a recreational activity that expands your horizons. ## [CSS Naked Day](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/04/08/css-naked-day.html) _2025-04-08 · Chris Lowis_ CSS Naked Day The idea behind CSS Naked Day is to promote web standards. Plain and simple. This includes proper use of HTML, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good old play on words. In the words of 2006, it’s time to show off your \ for what it really is. On or around April 9th a little bit of code disables CSS on our co-op’s website . The web, and the world, has… ## [Comradery - co-op run Patreon alternative](https://chrislowis.co.uk/link/2025/04/07/comradery-co-op-run-patreon-alternative.html) _2025-04-07 · Chris Lowis_ Comradery - co-op run Patreon alternative Comradery is a digital platform where creators can receive monthly payments from supporters, and optionally give those supporters exclusive access to posts and media.
